Well almost..., but got a 3rd place ribbon. Woo Hoo! Folks, I entered 4 photos in this years Tennessee State Fair. The competition was fierce and challenging with over 350 photographers state wide entering. With such stiff competition, I feel very fortunate and grateful to have come away with one ribbon out of the four entries, so wanted to show all my friends here on UHH. Thanks for your support over the years and for looking Folks...Can't wait till next years Fair. I'll be looking for man-made structures to shoot my birds in instead of this dumb looking log.

P.s. I donated my huge winnings ($6.00) back to the Fair as a gift.

Third place out of 350 other photographers, I would say that is superb.

Got up this morning sipping my coffee reading all your comments. What a wonderful bunch of supporters and I thank each and everyone of you. Yeah, I saw several examples of bad judging (IMO) at the Fair this year. I wish they would open up and let us know more about who are the judges and the criteria they use. So far, it's a tightly held secret. Again...Thank you Kind friends.

Winning is great and losing is a bitch.
Liked your shot and just keep trying and maybe next year the judges will have better taste.
Unlike you I will keep the money. Not sure how much, it should be $200 or more. The kicker is Best in Show. I will get a cash prize for a first place, best of division and best of show.
Again best of luck and just keep shooting.

Congratulations, James. A beautiful photo. Keep up the good work. Re. the 1st. place winner: I thought a man-made structure anywhere in a Nature photo was a no-no!!
